When do most of you switch over to synthetic. I've got 1000 miles on my new bike, and i'am undecided if I should change over now, or wait for one more oil change.
Thanks in advance Jonnierock

 

Break in period is over so put what you want in.

 

It came in my bike when I bought it new.You can switch when you choose to.

 

You are not going to be able to tell the difference.

 

Last two new Harley's I've owned, I switched to Mobil 1 V-twin at the first service. My current 13 Heritage is so much more quieter shifting with the Mobil 1 75-140 gear lube.
Today I demoed four new bikes at demo day here in Denver. CVO Ultra, CVO Streetglide, Ultra Classic Low, and the Freewheeler. All were really clunk clank noisy!

 

you can do it tomorrow

 

There goes your warranty!! Just messing with you.

 

You could have done it day one if you wanted to

 

Did mine on the 1st service.

 

I can, as a modern engineer, not think of only ONE condition why you should NOT change from day 1 to synthetic oil. The advantages are so obvious, the lubrication quality and heat resistance (supposed you choose the right type and grade of synthetic) are so overwhelming superior that is is me a complete riddle why manufacturers like Harley don't change standard to synthetic oils. Here in Saudi, with temps exceeding 110 F regularly mineral oil will even have no change to be applied without a change every 2000 miles, overheated and saturated.
Synthetic oils (in combination with an oil cooler to improve the life time as well) are so superior nowadays, with the right additives already mixed from the producer, that I will never operate an engine (or motorbike) with 'natural' oil anymore.
